Lindy Hop has to be good for you,
you can't help but smile while doing it!
Lindy Hop offers:
• great health benefits
• a remarkable social interaction experience
• an inclusive activity for families and individuals
• a new skill set you have FUN constantly refining
• it's all ages - Denver's dancers range from 10 to 80
Once comfortable with the basics, you decide what level you want to take your dancing to — you can stick with the basics and become an accomplished social dancer or you can embellish your dancing with aerial movements and work towards competing.
You can learn dances like Balboa, Blues and Shag, as well as the line dances like the Shim Sham, the Big Apple, and the Jitterbug Stroll — all a part of the swing dancing you'll see at every one of metro Denver's SIX nights of dancing EVERY week.
And talk about affordable — the most 'expensive' night of dancing is less than going out to a movie — it's a social activity cheaper than renting from NetFlix.
Do yourself a favor: Get off the couch — you already own everything you'll need — and meet me on the dance floor. As a beginning dancer few things can compare with the rapturous feeling you have the first time you dance through an entire song!!
Lindy Hop, also known as Jitterbug, is the authentic Afro-Euro-American Swing dance. It is an unabashedly joyful dance, with a solid, flowing style that closely reflects its music -- from the late 20's hot Jazz to the early 40's Big Bands. Just as Jazz combines European and African musical origins, Lindy Hop draws on African and European dance traditions. The embracing hold, and the turns from Europe, the breakaway and solid, earthy body posture from Africa. The dance evolved along with the new swing music, based on earlier dances such as the Charleston and the Black Bottom, by black people in Harlem.
